This is the current OpenBSD 2.1 CD errata list:
<ul>
<li><strong>Alpha</strong>
<ul>
<li>CD2 does not boot on the alpha, as had been planned. Instead, you
	must use the floppy install method.  This is not significantly
	harder..
</ul>
<li><strong>Amiga</strong>
<ul>
<li>The amiga install has a flaw wrt Tseng based graphic cards: when entering
	multiuser mode the console won't get a login prompt.  This is due to
	a problem in the shipped /dev/MAKEDEV script.  To fix, enter single
	user mode and do:
<pre><b>#</b> cd /dev
<b>#</b> sh MAKEDEV ttye6
</pre>
</ul>
<li><strong>Sparc</strong>
<ul>
<li>The sparc X11R6.3 xdm-config files reference /usr/X11R6.3/... This is
	due to X11R6.3's default config file contents.  To fix, su and
	type:
<pre><b>#</b> cd /usr
<b>#</b> ln -s X11R6 X11R6.3
</pre>
<li>The sparc "single floppy install disk" has a problem when you specify
	"dumb" in response to the terminal type query.  As a work-around
	first specify an invalid terminal such as "bogus" and when prompted
	again for a terminal type, enter "dumb" and it will work correctly.
<li>When netbooting an older sparc system such as a Sun4 or Sun4c, the boot
	may hang up at the end of the tftp transfer of the bootstrap due
	to the tftp transfer working in 512-byte blocks.  If this occurs
	create a "padded" version of the bootstrap (boot or zboot) as follows:
<pre><b>#</b> cd /tftpboot
<b>#</b> dd if=boot of=newboot obs=512 conv=osync
<b>#</b> mv newboot boot
</pre>
</ul>
</ul>
